Beautiful study with great colour and light. Perhaps a touch more depth of field would improve it. I agree with Andrew here. Subject matter, colour and composition (although slightly regimented) are all working well but front and rear areas falling out of focus- perhaps you meant it to be that way but traditional still life is usually pin sharp front to back, so small apertures and even focus s ...

Excellent! Cheers, Gary

A great candid style with humour- lovely shot!

How did I miss this?

I still own a couple of Leach style wheels. Wonderful work. Cheers, Gary

Congratulations Grasshopper, you may leave the monastery! (But try and keep those highlights under control) Cheers, Gary
